| Procedure | What It Treats | How It Works | Typical Duration of Relief |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nerve Block | Localised pain from the nerves (e.g., sciatica, surgical pain) | Local anesthetic/anti-inflammatory drugs are injected around a particular nerve using visualisation | Days to weeks; usually used for diagnosis or short-term treatment |
| Epidural Steroid Injection | Back or leg pain radiating due to irritation of disc or nerve roots | Steroids and anaesthetics are administered into the space around the spinal cord, called the epidural space | Depends on the aetiology, weeks to months |
| Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) | Chronic facet joint or nerve-related pain that has been responsive to nerve block diagnosis | Heat produced by radiofrequency current interferes with the pain impulse conduction in the desired nerve. | Usually six months to two years |
| Medication Management | Pain that is mild to moderate in severity, or as an accompaniment to interventions | Personalised analgesics, neuropathics, or anti-inflammatory drug regimens are evaluated and modified as necessary | Repetitive, with periodic evaluation |

Interventional pain management includes procedures like nerve blocks, epidural injections of steroids, and radiofrequency ablation, all of which help to manage pain coming from a particular source, along with medications and physical therapy.
Relief from a nerve block lasts anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. However, when used as treatment, nerve blocks relieve pain for longer periods of time. Nerve blocks are usually performed to ascertain the exact source of the pain before opting for a treatment procedure.
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) involves the use of heat produced by radiofrequency current to disrupt the transmission of the pain signal along a certain nerve, usually one that has shown good results after performing a nerve block test. It is used to manage chronic facet-joint or nerve-related pain, providing relief for six months to two years.
Most of the interventional pain procedures such as nerve blocks, epidural steroid injections, and radiofrequency ablation are carried out through a day-care procedure. Patients are observed for a short period after the procedure and can be discharged the same day.
Whether or not your insurance covers it is dependent on your own personal insurance coverage and the procedure required. SilverStreak Hospital is affiliated with many insurance companies and TPAs. Our team would be glad to assist you with your verification prior to the procedure. Please visit our Insurance and TPA Partners page or talk to our billing desk for further information.
It depends upon the type of procedure. Most patients return to their regular activities within 2 days of their nerve block / epidural steroid injection; however, patients who have had their radiofrequency ablation usually take longer.
The initial appointment will involve an extensive history taking, physical exam, and review of any imaging, nerve conduction studies or laboratory work that you may have had. Based on this, your pain specialist doctor will establish a diagnosis and develop a tailored treatment plan, which includes medications, interventional procedures and physiotherapy.
